First of all, let me tell you about one "interesting" conversation. Happened on 1st day of Hari Raya.
Busy in A&E. And my colleague (Dr.S) has got a call from surgical ward (by Dr.A).
Dr A: "Hi is this Dr.S?"
Dr S: "Yes speaking?"
Dr A: "I have just seen a case admitted by you, a man with ribs fracture?"
Dr S: "Yes I admitted him. Anything?"
Dr A: "Actually why did you admit him? Are you sure that he's got ribs fracture?"
Dr S: "Yes. I think the Xray is with him. Have you seen it?"
Dr A: "Yes and that's why I call. I DON'T see any rib fracture on the Xray."
Dr S: "Actually you're a..."
Dr A: "I'm a houseman."
Dr S: "Ok...has your MO seen the Xray as well?"
Dr A: "Not really..."
Dr S: "Great. Listen, if you do not know how to look for rib fracture on the Xray, doesn't mean there's no fracture. Next time PLS call only after you consulted your MO."
Dr A: "Ok..and by the way, I'm on call today and it's a public holiday. PLS make sure you admit case properly ok." *hang up*
Amazing? Houseman called and questioned MO's diagnosis in such a rude way.
So as a result, my colleague got so pissed off and she gave a call to the MO on call that day.
The next thing we know is, the houseman was given a double-strength Extra-clean brushing(a.k.a Gosok) by his MO.
But this is not the end of the story.
The next best thing is, the houseman has just joined A&E department. Alone. Reported duty yesterday. He's gonna tag under my colleague.
I really wonder what is going to happen. *wink*

i know who is that DR A... heheh... keep me updated what happen time to time??? just wonder what i should do when he calls to refer case to me???
Then, good luck to him...
i wonder, y these days, most HO act like PROF....
i hope, i'll be a humble HO and do my job properly without too much "gei bo chi"... haha!
and, wont "de zui" my superior... huhuhu!!
What does it mean gosok???
elaine: Ya i'll update you..hehe
宏轩: Yala I wonder why isit so hard to speak in good manners and attitude..if you choose to speak like tat u'll get it back eventually..
Dear: Err..gosok means an action of cleaning? (I think it's called 'screwing' previously..^^)
From which uni?
wah... ganas... but i think the HO deserves the rub. LOL
Not a doc yet:
Good question! I asked him today and this is our conversation:
Me: "Which uni u're from?"
A: "Oh i'm from a private uni that i'm sure u've not heard before."
Me: "Oh come on..i'm from a private uni also wat.."
A: "No mine is oversea private uni. Forget it la..i'm sure you never heard of it.."
He just insisted not to tell!
Think it's become some kinda X-file dy..hehe
wow..
even if the way he answers a simple question to which uni he came from also very rude!
OMG~ helpless.. ^^
F*** him!! :D
Yew: Hahaa i'll pass the msg to him..hehehe
wah..
so so so rude....
*pengsaned*
i wonder now if the conversation is between u and the DR.A wat would u do ah?? hehe
hahah... i know which HO also. he is reall weird n rude. :P even i tried to stay a distance from him, in fear of getting heart attack. haha
aiyo..ask abt uni also reply so rude wan.. tsk tsk.
can i ask a question? did the patient had rib fracture??
i think, if a dr (even someone as small as an HO) is certain of his diagnosis, he should consult his superior and defend the diagnosis, investigate further, for the benefit of patients.. in a respectful nice way..
i guess, sometimes MO makes mistakes too, although very rare... i have seen cases where med students 'accidently' pick up history/pe that were missed by attending HOs and HO refused to listen to them.. in the end, patients suffers.. so, the students had to take it to the specialist.. (not too good for the HO, ei?)
i have to agree though, that we should all have respect to our seniors (and even juniors).. after all, everyone's working in a team.. it's like colleagues.. and it's not so hard, just trying to be nice...
lastly, i think we shouldn't judge a person solely based on which university they grad.. and, we should all be proud of our university.. ^^
shinyin: Ya the thing is, there's an obvious rib fracture=(
Of course no one is perfect and free of mistake. It's not rare (but also not very common) that sometimes HO might find some MO's plans not so right then they can always discuss in a polite way. Coz questioning other ppl's diagnosis/work is always a sensitive thing - especially in a reverse way e.g. junior to senior.
After all, no matter how good you are, medical care is about teamwork. Attitude and PR is quite important I must say!;)
hey, i know him too! He's from AIMST, sg petani. Very very cocky..walks with a hand in his pocket. Heard from his colleague from medical & surgical that he's super cocky. Nearly (or had he?) got extended in medical...
Never work with him though..
btw, he said he's from an 'overseas private uni'? Hmm...not sure of that, unless i'm mistaken.
Li Ying: No you're right. Saw his chop today. Where got oversea uni..><
